CANBERRA motorists can now use the NSW FuelCheck app to check ACT fuel prices online.
Under a deal struck between the ACT and New South Wales governments, the NSW FuelCheck website will now include ACT petrol stations.
Prices on FuelCheck — which is also a smartphone app — will be displayed per litre, without any discounts or special offers.
The FuelCheck app initially will operate on a six-month pilot program. Unlike NSW, the scheme is not compulsory for ACT retailers.
“This is a great opportunity for small and independent ACT operators to take advantage of free price advertising and bring awareness of their location to a larger audience,” Minister for Business and Better Regulation Tara Cheyne said.
“By opting into the scheme and providing their pricing information, a service station will have their location and pricing information displayed on the app in real time.”
The website will also display the availability of charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs).
